Help prevent sewer backups

Due to COVID-19, there has been a shortage of toilet paper on store shelves. This may cause people to look for alternative products such as facial tissues, paper towels, baby wipes, flushable wipes, and other similar items. These products do not break down like toilet paper and can cause sanitary sewer backups, which in turn can cause additional public health concerns. Please prevent sewer backups and do not flush products other than toilet paper down the toilet.
